Q: Do I need to buy a License Key for each platform / machine I own?

No way! Grid Cartographer is licensed to you and not to any specific machine or platform. If you have the supported hardware then we want you to be able to use your copy of Grid Cartographer on it.

Q: I have a pro edition license for version 2, will it work with version 3?

Using the pro edition of Grid Cartographer v3 requires a new license key. You can purchase an upgrade from v2 pro to v3 pro at a significant discount here.

Q: Will my old maps work with version 3?

Yes! any map created in previous versions will work with version 3.

Q: Will maps I create in version 3 still work with old versions of the software?

Owing to the new features added in version 3 the map format has changed significantly and is no longer compatible with version 2. If you wish to try version 3 but think you might stick with an older version of Grid Cartographer then please ensure you make backups of your map files before overwriting them.
